Dallas - by Phantasm

Live, improvised ambient work, with each performer channeling their perception of the emotion into sound. In this work the subject is confusion, more specifically the feeling of alienation.

Amygdala - Confusion/Alienation

Live, improvised ambient work, with each performer channeling their perception of the emotional concept into sound. This work is looking into release and escapism.

Amygdala - Release/Escapism

Improvised ambient work recorded live, evolving from cold, acoustic sounds in reverberant space to thick, rolling electronic textures.

Amygdala - Noir

*************
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to know
That I used to know

Somebody...

Somebody That I Used To Know (M-Phazes Remix) [feat. Kimbra]

Starting by himself in a murky and dirty bedroom James wrote entire compositions but disliked the nature of the songs being performing out of a little box. Joining his saddle are Allan Bremner and Hik Sugimoto - two crazy dudes who are willing to undertake the scattered dreams that are James' compositions.
